Second round was about the same as the first, Woodbury leading heavily, and Smith showing skill in countering. The fighting was about even, the round did not seem to belong to either. The final round was hotly contested. Woodbury commenced the fighting as usual by following his former tactics, and fighting hardest at the beginning. The round was in favor of smith. In the close fighting Smith showed himself the better boxer of the two, but Woodbury seemed to be the hardest fighter. It was a very good contest. In deciding the bout, the judges disagreed as to the winner...
...about college newspaper men, I learned from him that of the past Tribune staff whom he remembered, eleven were college men, and of the present staff, the business manager and eight others are college graduates. That certainly is a good showing,-though I must admit, sad as it may seem, that Yale sent more men to the Tribune than any other college, not even excepting Harvard. Of course, it is true that many of these newspaper men hold only subordinate places; in fact, I know of one friend of mine, who has attained a great title, but little...
...only some of the longer distances which are really appreciated. That it is half a mile from the square to the Agassiz Museum, or from University to the Boat House, does not seem so strange.

"But the growth of the professional spirit has gone," it says, "so far that the idea of playing any game except for the purpose of beating, seems to an undergraduate simply absurd." This statement is both true and not true. It is true that the undergraduate enters into a game generally with the thought prominent in his mind of beating. It is not true that in his whole system of athletics-in his preparation for this game...
...collegiate and college life of each member, not easily ascertained by any other method. When the class lives are all handed in, they will be bound and kept in some accessible place, open to the inspection of the class only. The importance of these records may now seem but trifling, yet in after years, when many of those little items which give our college life its ideal character are forgotten, the wisdom of preserving an account of each individual college course will be most clearly demonstrated. Should there chance to be among us any Johnson, in these class lives...
